If there is any rain at all this winter, we'll have a bonanza year, and just at this very moment when we've got our chance--a chance to pay off our mortgages and get clear of debt and make a strike--here is Shelgrim making a deal to cinch us and put up rates.

And now here's the primaries coming off and a new Railroad Commission going in.

That's why Shelgrim chose this time to make his deal.

If we wait till Shelgrim pulls it off, we're done for, that's flat.

I tell you we're in a fix if we don't keep an eye open.
